None available I guess !

as I have 16mm lanes I am not using and not enough 12's,  I experimented
I found that a 5 x 5mm acrylic rod stuck to the bottom of the 16mm lane with double sided tape is just about right to convert a 16mm lane to a 12mm lane.

It works just fine

I'm not advocating acrylic for any other reason than it was the first 5 x 5 x 300mm rod I found on eBay

might be useful to somebody else !

ps  it spaces the projection on the underside of the tape, not the edge, so it may not work for all devices

Yes - I've done that - just needs something about the right size to pad the tape over.

I am going to buy an RV4S machine and I need 16mm feeders... and I have more 12mm ones... do you accept an exchange?
